Chartities We Support – Conner T. Lowry Memorial Fund
At McCready, Garcia & Leet, we feel it is important to give back to the community. After all, without the community, we would be nothing. Each month we highlight an organization or group which we support, with time or money, and we encourage you to do the same. We support a wide range of groups throughout the year, some national in scope, others may involve a fundraiser for an individual in need. We encourage you to visit these organizations and join McCready, Garcia & Leet in donating.
Conner’s Story
To know him was to love him. Conner T. Lowry, born February 6, 1988, died during combat operations on March 1, 2012 while serving his country as a United States Marine in Afghanistan. Conner was a lifelong Beverly resident who loved Notre Dame, Chicago teams and all things Irish. Conner attended St. John Fisher School and graduated from Brother Rice High School, where principal Jim Antos described him as “spirited.” And that he was.
Conner always said “Live Life Large”. Proof of his motto is in his scores of friends, most of whom he described as “his best friends.” He loved as hard as he was loved. His adventurous spirit took him across the country, and eventually across the world as a Marine. And for every adventure is a T-Shirt, a photograph, and most importantly, a story. Lowry stories are always rich in detail, humor, and filled with a little mischief. Conner was tall, handsome, funny, playful, and giving. His heart was open to anyone in need, whether it was a friend who needed a ride or a fellow soldier who needed safety. It is this spirit that the Conner T. Lowry Memorial Fund hopes to nurture for future generations for educational scholarships.
